This is a snippet of Python code from a Django project's "settings.py" file. The code is: ``` STORAGES = { "default": { "BACKEND": "storages.backends.s3.S3Storage", "OPTIONS": { "bucket_name": LINODE_BUCKET_NAME, "region_name": "us-east-1", "access_key": LINODE_ACCESS_KEY, "secret_key": LINODE_SECRET_KEY, "endpoint_url": f"https://{LINODE_BUCKET_REGION}.linodeobjects.com", "location": f"{ENVIRON}", "client_config": Config(request_checksum_calculation="WHEN_REQUIRED"), }, }, "staticfiles": { "BACKEND": "whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage", }, } ```

I had to add a `botocore.config.Config` object to my options, and set `request_checksum_calculation` to "WHEN_REQUIRED".

One of my problems was that I was using "config" as the key, instead of "client_config"

This is a long shot, but is anyone successfully using `django-storages` with Linode Object Storage?

TIL: ^ bitwise XOR How to mark a comparison of booleans as True or False using bitwise XOR.

@daniel.feldroy.com Hi! There's a caveat to your post about the caret operator (daniel.feldroy.com/posts/til-20...), it only returns True if one (and only one) of the items is True. print(True ^ False ^ True) returns False.

Some personal news: I'm honored to be a part of this cohort and looking forward to learning from and working with all these folks!

I say "please" when talking to voice assistants. I dot it mostly to model behavior for my child, but I don't think there's anything wrong with practicing politeness/kindness.

Took some time for myself and developed some custom data feeds for my "/now" page: curtmerrill.com/now/

I don't play Framed (framed.wtf) every day, but I've been keeping track of how I do: curtmerrill.com/blog/2025/fr...

I went with uprinting.com. Customer service has been good, cards will arrive soon.

I'd like to get some custom correspondence cards printed with my own logo/design, but the services I've found so far only allow "personalization" of preset designs. Anyone have a recommendation?

Bad luck: Dog chewed up my left AirPod.
Good luck: Now I can buy a new pair of noise cancelling AirPods.
